Now that Nazar is hurt, this team is about to take the plunge. Should be an active trade deadline day!
Based on points percentage, Hawks with the worst record and in the #1 draft choice slot. Just a week or so ago, the Hawks were in a playoff position. The standings are currently tightly bunched and a winning streak would surely move them out of the basement. With Bedard and now Nazar injured that streak is easier said than done.
With all that said, the WJC torunament begins Friday. Good time to watch some of the potential top draft picks – McKenna, Verhoeff, and Stenberg to name a a few.
don’t know exactly which teams are on his list, but when I spoke with Jim Nill last season about Mason Marchment, he was clear about the situation.
Dallas needed to clear cap space and was open to moving Marchment. One key point: Marchment wanted to play in a market with very low taxes. Canada was not an option for him.
I don’t know if Chicago is on his list or not.
I’ve also been told by an insider that the Kraken could still move two more players, so this is something to keep an eye on.
it is moot whether Marchment had Chicago on his no trade list or not
It’s just a point of curiosity sir, since Frenchy mentioned Marchment being available and he went to a team low in the standings.
If a player had Chicago on a no trade list and was ok with Columbus, we don’t need that guy.
Point taken.
That’s why I wondered if maybe the CBJ shot him a contract number he liked to go there.
That would make the most sense imo. Maybe we’ll find out.I don’t think KD has/had any interest in acquiring Marchment, thus it is moot whether Marchment had Chicago on his no trade list or not.

That would make the most sense imo. Maybe we’ll find out.The Kraken look like a team that could become sellers very soon. Mason Marchment will be a UFA at the end of the season
Frenchy, good call on Marchment being available. Columbus swooped in, not a super huge cost.
He has a 10 team no trade list, I wonder if the Hawks tried for him. If so, were the Hawks on his list?
Columbus is last in the East, so it’s not like he went there for a playoff run this year.
Maybe they already shot him a number for his next contract?If a player had Chicago on a no trade list and was ok with Columbus, we don’t need that guy. Too stupid!
But as i said before they gave us a glimpse of what they’ll be next year on a more consistent basis
Kansterov will help because he is a skilled 200 foot hockey player and goes to the dirty areas.
Lardis goal today was in front of the net
Plus the young dmen getting these tough games in will help as well.
And I’ll just keep saying what I’ve said before once the kids realize they have to be mean bastards in this league the team will begin to have playoff aspirations.
You already see it with the next captain of the Blackhawks
Ehhh i don’t think the problem is size as much as want. I think the loss to the Leafs really hurt this team mentally.
Our best player being hurt doesn’t help either.
These kids are learning and i don’t care what their size is vs the Habs what happened to driving the net and having support or even doing a drop pass as the forward forces his way to the net, it is a lost art, no they are staying outside and constantly looking for a perfect pass which is rarely there now because the league adjusted to them.
What i don’t understand is if you are the better skating team why on defense the players are not playing on the hip of each player in the zone?
Gotta play on the right side of the puck and no matter your size you must be physical you can’t play fly by hockey and when they lose by big numbers it’s exactly how they play.
Hate to say it but I don’t think they’ll win another game with Soda in net, he looks terrible now
